For the last time, it's not HP, it's traction. The 4640 and 4840 are big, clumsy pigs that cannot get their 130 and 150 drawbar hp to the ground efficiently. Brag all you want about your 4640 dynoing 250 hp, it can't get it to the ground. ANY brand of tractor with MFWD and 130hp will outpull your 4640. As I said in my first post and you apparently agree, the 46 and 4840s are really only good for heavy PTO work or light drawbar work - chopping, big square baling, corn planting, etc. Even in those operations, they aren't the best. Why do you think they sell for so cheap? Our 4640 was bought 15 years ago for $16000 off a dealer lot and our 4840 was bought 3 years ago for $12800 at a farm auction. Cheap, big, clumsy, thirsty PTO HORSEPOWER
Redpete, you said you wanted something to sidedress and spray. Either may be a good tractor for that because clumsiness can be forgiven if you need 60 feet to turn the hog for the next pass. Still, it's gonna take down a lotta corn with that wide rubber. Our 4640 has 18.4 42s and our 4840 has 20.8 38s. I'm not sure I'd want either of them in a corn field, but we're in pretty hilly ground. As far as the transmissions, like others said, "previous owner" is gonna be the biggest factor on which holds up. I personally like the quad range over the 8 speed power shift.
